Melancholy of a Helpless Moron

Bilisan na ang pag-uunat-unat paggising sa umaga,

Pagtapos diretso na sa mesa, simulan na ang piyesta;

Kuhanin na ang tinapay at ihanda na ang palaman,

Simulan na ang pagkain ng tayo’y magkaalaman…

Kaunting kwento habang tayo’y salo-salo,

Kanya-kanya ang banat, walang magpapatalo;

Maya-maya ang lahat ay titigil at makikiramdam,

Sabay may hihirit, “Hoy, yung hotdog, magtira ka naman!”

Sige lang ang halo sa mainit-init pang kape,

Kasabay ng marahang ihip na namumutawi sa labi,

Luto na ang sinangag, ang dyaryong hawak iyo munang ilapag,

Alam mo na siguro kung bakit, ‘di na kailangan ng paliwanag…

Tara na’t salubungin natin ang bagong araw ng tama,

Hahayaan na lang ba nating sumablay agad ang simula?

…Ay, wag naman sana Ü

I miss you even more tonight…

A worried face staring at a blank sky;

Something unseen in plain sight,

A heart that never quits to try…

Can you hear me calling your name,

Against the vast silence of distance;

The brain trapped in a mini mindgame,

Where thoughts spin like a crazy dance…

I just want to feel that you’re still there,

Like stars that shine in the velvet canvass;

Every second passing seems like forever,

A hurtful longing screaming inside a glass…

I’m just being honest, truthful to what I say,

No matter how badly I miss you, I promise I’ll stay…Ü

“Then a hero comes out to the rescue…

People calling out, loudly seeking for different aids,

Screaming their lungs out to voice out their call;

Across the streets, where actions are made and terror fades,

A help for everyone while the villains take their fall…

Left at a corner, someone forced to face the darkness,

“How can he save others while I’m left here all alone?”

Across the city, praises said for the hero are countless,

A damned soul waiting in sobs of sorrow on a lonely throne…

Flashes of what was said by the man she trusted:

“Stay here! I don’t want you to get hurt…”

A cut in the heart and a face with tears embedded,

A longing neglected, genuine passion just left in dirt…

Some people might say that the person only needs attention,

The truth it is for someone cold-hearted in a void of affection…

And when the hero came back, she was already gone…”
